In terms of extras, my bike is fully specced including cruise control, navigation, top box and panniers.

Wishlist/ToDo list:Two finger levers - not sure this will actually help, I already ride two finger style with normal levers.Hella power socket - fused and relayed but direct from battery for running compressor. Have the parts, must do.Handlebar risers - not 100% convinced I need them yet, I am not that tall.Adventure screen - I like the 2014 Adventure screen, wonder about the cost though.Upper crashbars - not sure I need them, not sure they add value apart from offering mounting point for crashbar bags, not convinced I really like the look.

Simple answer, when I bought the bike almost nobody had stock of any alternative items.

Crashbars is a good example, I wanted stainless which limits to BMW and Touratech. With no amount of effort could I even get an estimated delivery date on cashbars from Touratech. At that point the alternatives, that I was willing to fit, could also not supply.

Same for lights, only BMW could supply an integrated harness with switchgear, bracket and lights. Might have saved a few rand buying the lights elsewhere.

Bashplate, wanted aluminium for weight, could not get stock of an alternative.

Headlight Guard, don't like velcro strips and other such brackets on a R200k bike. The BMW option integrates well and is good quality.

I can go on but for me it's simple. Anything I fit needs to be of such workmanship that it looks factory fitted. In addition, the fitment cost was minimal since I ordered most of the gear with the bike.

The above list is the only BMW kit, the rest is Touratech, SW Motech, Rockfox etc.

The only other thing I am considering is the BMW LED Spots, Touratech has developed a bracket so that they can be fitted with the Touratech top crash bars. Not sure if it is worth the money though?

- My bike is also, as all the other 2014 models, fully specced with cruise control, etc etc. I did not fit the panniers and top box. I use the BMW small soft top bag, and Touratech's bag which fit onto the passenger seat cleat, when the seat is removed.

I was recently forced to travel off-tar at nigh during a rain storm to help a riding buddy. More light is good :-)

You could get similar or even better quality spots for less money than the BMW part but the integrated wiring harness from BMW is great. It looks factory fitted and works with the main lights without compromising the wiring of the bike. Another point to consider is that the BMW LED spots provide peripheral lighting to compliment the LED headlight. Most OEM spots I have seen will just add more light where you already have good lighting.

OEM or after-market? Just to clarify?

The LED spots we sell, certain of them are available in flood or spot, which equates to 45 degrees flood beam or 25 degrees spot beam.Hope that throws a little, erm, LIGHT on the subject! Flood Beam (45deg) / Spot Beam (25deg)CheersChris

An interesting industry variance

I am used to using OEM when referring to Other Equipment Manufacturer and calling the original by it's given brand name like BMW/KTM.

In the end, if you ride a K50 with LED lighting you have no/little need for more 'spot' lights and could benefit more from 'flood' lights so you can see critters creeping up to the road side preparing to jump you at night. These lights are also good for daytime visibility and will not melt the rear lenses of the cars in front of you.
